Grilled Fruit Hobo Packets Make Dessert Easy

You know those fun campfire hobo packets that make dinnertime and clean-up super easy? Well get this: you can do the same damn thing with fruit and have a warm cobbler-like dessert in no time! Say, whaaat?
That’s right. Forget the potatoes, chicken, fish or veggies, and instead create a hobo pack with fresh berries, a sprinkle of sugar and a little cornstarch; toss on the grill, then pour that bubbly, deliciousness over ice cream or vanilla yogurt and dig in.
It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t have to be. Single serving hobo packets create instant portion control (as long as you don’t go nuts on the ice cream), and those with gluten intolerance can enjoy the makings of warm pie à la mode without the crust or the fuss.
Loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, bite-sized berries are a natural for fruit hobo packets, but any seasonal fruit will work (and so will frozen, if that’s all you’ve got available). Mix and match whatever berries you like, or try rhubarb and strawberry for a sweet but tart combination.
Later this summer give the stone fruits like peaches, nectarines and apricots a turn on the grill as well. They’re a great source of fiber, vitamin A and potassium, plus they make a colorful combo when paired with cherries or blackberries.
When autumn rolls around think apples; choose a tangy, but sweet variety like the Jonagold. Don’t bother with the cornstarch, but do add a dash of cinnamon and a sprinkle of nuts. You can thank me later.
